GLP 93rd ANCOM: A Message of Thanks

Brethren,

Herewith is a text message by VW Bro Oscar P. Musni, PJGL, the 93rd ANCOM [ex-]Convention Director, which deserves to be read by everyone in this jurisdiction:

"Brethren of the 93rd ANCOM Committee: We have done it! The Opening of the ANCOM [2009] up to the Installation proved that from start to the finish, our efforts have insured our successes.

The result is indeed memorable and the Installation which capped the historic occasion is the cream, the dessert that gives thev sweet aftertaste and we have now our pride and our joy in the Grand Orient.

At this stage, thought this may seem late, but I have to catch up with my professional task; I convey to you my heartfelt gratitude for the unstinting support you have given to the task. With you, the idea has become a fact. Remember, it is you, not I; who has made it happen. I am just fortunate that you have trusted me to be the primus inter pares.

Gratitude is the memory of the heart. And mine to you is boundless and immeasurable.

Best wishes and congratulations. Please pass to others who have in more ways than one have brought a stone into this edifice of unprecedented achievement of the brethren of these two districts.

My special thanks to VW Bro UPM (Unabia, Peter M. of MD R10-A, my counterpart [of OPM (Oscar P. Musni)]and VW Bro Jim S. Bernadas of MD R10-B for their guidance and support.

May God bless us all and our loved ones!

Bro. Oscar P. Musni, PJGL
93rd ANCOM [ex-]Convention Director"

VWBro Boy Gabionza elected JGW ANCOM 2009

To All Brethren Whithersoever Dispersed:

Congratulations are in order for the elevation of Bro. Santiago "Boy" Gabionza to the Grand South during the elections of the 93rd Annual Communications in Cagayan de Oro City.

There were five (5) nominees for the position of JGW, namely: VWBro Edward Chua, VWBro Joven Chua, VWBro Manuel Crudo Jr., VWBro Santiago Gabionza & VWBro Voltaire Gazmin. VWBro Santiago Gabionza was elected JGW by a consistently huge margin in an elections that kept the voting brethren from leaving the Atrium until 10:30 PM.

The installation of officers to be led by the new Grand Master-elect RWBro Peter Uy Limlosuy would follow at the Pryce Plaza Grand Ballroom April 25 at 2:30 PM.

The 93rd ANCOM was a grand send-off to the outgoing Grand Master, MW Bro Pacifico "Boy" Aniag; who, prior to the elections, was given a long standing ovation by the brethren assembled for a job well done!
